Q: Where can I buy foreign goods in Nanjing?
If it’s foreign groceries you are after, Times Grocery has quite a few comforts from home including sodas, crackers, snacks, cheeses and meats among other things. Metro is a famous German bulk good store. There is a great selection here as the place is huge, you can find almost everything you need here.
There's another small shop on Hankou Xi Lu (汉口西路, between Nan Da and Nan Shi Da) called Exotic... something. It's on the right side, when you walk east toward the Mc Donalds on the corner. Has a yellow sign. Their special is liquors and the prices are really not bad. Sometimes cheaper than in Germany!
But the Times Grocery on Yunnan Lu 云南路 (extension of Shanghai Lu) is the best so far. Decent Locations and loads of stuff. Prices are higher than at home but if you need foreign stuff it's your own fault 
.
I shop at Metro in Nanjing. It has a very large imported selection mixed in with all of the other products. Prices are very competitive but you will need to join and become a Metro Card holder (open to card holders only) but that's easy enough. Just bring your passport or your identity card. Here are the details.
